Lower Navarre, Historical province in southwestern France
Lower Navarre stretches across mountainous terrain between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic Ocean, featuring numerous valleys, hills, and traditional Basque settlements.
The region remained part of the Kingdom of Navarre until 1512, when military conquest led to its separation from southern Navarre and subsequent integration into France.
The Basque language Euskara maintains a strong presence in Lower Navarre through educational programs, community gatherings, and daily communication among residents.
The regional road network connects major towns like Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port with neighboring French departments and Spanish provinces through mountain passes.
Local craftsmen preserve medieval techniques for making espadrilles, traditional rope-soled shoes that originated in the Pyrenean regions of France and Spain.
